## Key points

- Cranston drew on his mother’s Alzheimer’s experience for “Tangles”.
- He says the disease’s progression can be unpredictable.
- Caring for his mother eased earlier tensions between them.

## Summary

Bryan Cranston says his mother’s experience with Alzheimer’s helped him understand and portray a husband caring for his wife in the animated film “Tangles”. He described the personal connection as especially poignant, and said the film shows a range of emotions and family experiences rather than focusing only on despair.

Cranston, 70, voices the husband alongside Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Abbi Jacobson, Samira Wiley and Beanie Feldstein. He said Alzheimer’s can progress unpredictably and that caring for his mother, Peggy Sell, changed their relationship: earlier tensions gave way to simple acts of companionship. Cranston has also encouraged people to support efforts to find a cure.
